I do sympathize with the argument that Olympic status may hold sailing back. I think the OD mentality is not really helping sailing.

Olympics can't really hurt us. It gives the sport an air of respectability.
One-Design is by nature exclusionary, and segregates classes by it's design. It is both good for giving us measuring sticks of our own ability directly compared to another sailor, & in the upper circles, restricts who may sail by the size of their wallet, or how many boats you can park in your yard.
(I'm thinking Ingram must have a big yard
)
Me I gotta big Dock.
Think I'm gonna have a new empty space on it soon, wish I had something other than my Hobie 16 to park on it . . .
